Under 3.5 goals at Lyon vs Nice 2/5 for Saturday’s Ligue 1 matchup

Posted February 11th, 2022 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Under 3.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @ 888sport

In a real heavyweight battle from France this weekend, Lyon will host Nice on Saturday night in a contest that could turn out to be a low-scoring affair.

Starting with the hosts, watching their unbeaten run come to an abrupt end last weekend, there is no doubt that Lyon will be desperate to try and find a boost here. In their 23 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, eight draws and six defeats, scoring 31 and conceding 30 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 34, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in eighth and two points adrift of breaking into the top-six. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit a 2-0 defeat against Monaco on the road, that was the first defeat that Lyon have suffered from their previous nine contests across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have seen each of their last eight matchups finish with under 3.5 goals.

As for the visitors, also coming off the back of their own defeat, Nice will be desperate to prove that was just a minor blip on the road here. In their 23 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded 13 wins, four draws and six defeats, scoring 36 and conceding 29 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 42, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the table and holding a commanding five-point buffer from dropping out of the Champions League spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a shock 1-0 loss at home against Clermont, that result brought an end to Nice’s remarkable seven-match winning run across all formats. Likewise, it should be noted, with each of their last 15 matchups finishing with under 3.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
